Availability, acceptability and uptake of Sexual Reproductive Health interventions for young people with disabilities in Sub Saharan Africa: A scoping review protocol.
Article in PloS one, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introductionYoung people with disabilities face major barriers in accessing sexual reproductive health (SRH) services in resource-poor settings, including Sub Saharan Africa (SSA). Although, there is increasing recognition of their unique SRH needs, the availability, acceptability, and uptake of SRH service delivery interventions for this population group remain understudied. Young people with disabilities encounter barriers to accessing SRH services due to stigma, poverty, lack of information and physical barriers. We aim to map existing literature on SRH service delivery interventions targeting young people with disabilities in SSA through a scoping review. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: The scoping review will be guided by the Arksey and O'Malley methodological framework. Articles will be searched in PubMed, African Index Medicus, Google Scholar, African Journals Online, Web of Science and Embase electronic databases as well as grey literature database, Open Grey. We will also do a citation search of references of eligible papers for literature that may have been overlooked in other searches. A two-step process will be used to screen retrieved articles i) title and abstract screening ii) full text screening. Results of the scoping review will be reported following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA-P) extension for scoping reviews. DISCUSSION: There is a paucity of knowledge on availability, acceptability and uptake of SRH service delivery interventions for young people with disabilities in SSA. This scoping review is poised to fill the gap by demonstrating the breadth of literature on availability, acceptability and uptake of SRH service delivery interventions for young people with disabilities The scoping review aims to map the availability of SRH service delivery interventions for young people with disabilities. This mapping of evidence has the potential to identify whether there is a need for SRH service delivery interventions for young people with disabilities. Our scoping review will map which SRH service delivery interventions work or do not work, as well as gaps in SRH service delivery interventions for young people with disabilities. This information is useful for policy making and for designing effective SRH service delivery interventions for young people with disabilities.
